Re: Simply fix to increase strength of Infill

You've done a disservice to your client. Strength of part comes from the design... not the infill. Relying on infill alone to create strength is... well lazy. First and foremost, design the part properly. This should incorporate the characteristics of the material used for printing. Then slice the ...

Re: Simply fix to increase strength of Infill

Have to agree with sstanz on this one... I dissuaded 2 customers this week from spending money on Simplify3D until the infill problem is resolved. Can only imagine that the current setup is optimized for print speed (which is commendable...) but at least give us the option to have proper infill when...

Re: Skirt alternative - Straight line?

KeyboardWarrior wrote:What kind of printer do you have?
The printer is an Afinibot (Prusa i3 style - Reprap/Marlin) with a 200mm x 200mm bed... if anyone has some G-Code that could do this I'd appreciate it... otherwise I will have a look and see if I can get it right.

Tx guys

Skirt alternative - Straight line?

Hi, does anyone have any alternative starting G-Code to the skirt... I really would like to simply print a straight line down the side or across the front to get extrusion working properly before starting the print instead of strings being dragged across my print whilst the printer is trying to lay ...

Re: What does Auto Configure for Print Quality do?

Hi, yeah I agree with AndersE... I've got the software installed on 2 notebooks... both do the same, Medium setting just doesn't work. Surely it should be remembered as a preset... and we should be able to configure our own Fast, Medium and High Quality configurations... and switch between them? Oth...

Multiple Printers - shortcut

Hi, I'm one of those users that uses two printers, and may be adding a third soon... I know that its possible to use more than one instance of Simplify3D, but when doing this the port settings/bit rate and other settings need to be reset each day. Is there any chance we could edit the "shortcut...

Re: What does Auto Configure for Print Quality do?

Thanks Joe... ok I can see that changing to Fast or High changes the Layer Height to 0.3mm and 0.1mm respectively. Not sure if this is a bug (or by design) but there doesn't appear to be a way to get back to Medium once you have clicked on either of the other radio buttons... ie I start on Medium (0...

What does Auto Configure for Print Quality do?

Hi, I've hunted around but can't find much reference to the Auto Configure for Print Quality settings on the Extruder page... Does anyone know what this changes? Clicking on the different quality settings doesn't appear to alter layer height or anything else... also doesn't appear to be a preset as ...
